Patient: Mrs Nahla Abdelatti Abdelfarag

Country: South Sudan

Disease: Spine Disorder

Doctor: Dr Puneet Girdhar

Mr Mohammed and his wife came to India from South Sudan, after knocking doors of dozens of doctors in Sudan for his wife’s treatment, but none of them was able to help her with a treatment plan. 

Mrs Nahla Abdelatti Abdelfarag was suffering from a spinal disorder which was causing her acute pain. She was experiencing severe pain while performing basic daily tasks; she couldn't sit or stand. Looking at her condition getting worse, her husband felt helpless and finally decided to travel to India for her medical treatment.

On their friend's recommendation, they decided to get in touch with BLK Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi. And luckily Mr Mohammed was able to book Dr Puneet Girdhar, the Director of Spine Surgery Department at the hospital, who is also amongst the top 10 spine surgeons in India. 

Dr Puneet studied her reports deciding to perform a spine surgery on Mrs Nahla, for correcting the disorder. The doctor discussed the details of the surgery with the patient and her husband, telling them that the surgery will take around 30 - 140 mins, after which they will have to stay at the hospital for 3 – 4 days.

Mr Mohammed’s wife could feel relief from her pain just 4 days after her surgery and is having a speedy recovery.
